A PLOT FRUSTRATED
Whereby Prisoners Hoped to Es-

Whereby Prisoners Hoped to Is
cape From the Jail at Chicago.
CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-The officials in the
county Jail are in almost frenzy of
fear and uncertainty over disclosures re-
garding the surreptitious possession of
contraband articles by the prisoners.
The finding of the bombs in
Lingg's cell has never been
traced to its depth. Neither
has the person been discovered who
furnished the several doses of poison
taken by George Engel. Saturday last
a 44-caliber revolver and over 100 cart
ridges were found in the cell of Michael
Lynch, who shot and killed Officer
William S. HallOran in July last,
and this evening it was learned that
the latter discovery prevented the ear
rying out of well-defined plot to liber-
ate half dozen of the worst criminals
in the jail. Immediately on the finding
of the revolver and ammunition by
,Jailer FolZ, Lynch was taken from
his cell and placed in soli-
tary confinement for over 100
hours, menacled to the cell door and
fed on bread and water. All details
have been suppressed by the Jail Off
Gals, but it is known that the plan was
to arm Lynch and a number of other
prisoners and getting them into the
lawyers cage on some pretenSe

MONTREAL GIVES UP

Montreal has definitely decided not TO
have an ice carnival this year, and
Montreal has done wisely. 1t is said to
be the height of human wisdom to know
when one has been whipped, and
Montreal deserves credit for recogniz-
ing that fact. She has been whipped
very thoroughly by st. Paul, and it is
useless for her to attempt to disguise the
fact any longer.
We do these things so much better on
this side of the line. Beginning with
her first ice carnival St. Paul eXcelled
Montreal, and she has been doing it in
a greater degree ever since. Montreal
is too far north, too much out of the line
of travel TO attract many visitors, even
were her carnival as worthy of interest
as st. Paul's. Here ibc grand winter
festival is easy Of access, and in this city

The Dakota Jack Rabbit.

Exchange.
The jack rabbit is prairie institution
that gives the settlers dogs plenty of
exercise. When the settler sees jack
rabbit for the first time-starts him up
suddenly on the prairie-he imagines
that by quick movement he can lay
his hands on him. The rabbit is awk-
ward, appears to be lame in every joint,
holds up one foot as though it panied
him. and altogether creates the belief
that he is a dilapidated wreck of an UNI
calmly, animate thing. The settler is
surprised that he cannot ''grab" him.
The settlers dog, also. is confident that
he can quickly make an end of the raD-
bit. He bristles, runs leisureiy toward

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

They tell a story of Western con-
gresham who attended church in Wash
ington last Sunday. He had been at the
caucus the night before. and the effects
of the eyertiOns still told upon him. He
had Just dropped off into comfortable
doZe when the minister read his text:
Il would rather be dOOrkeeper in the
house of the Lord than 10 dwell in tents
of WickedneSS." The startled congress
man forgot his surroundings for mo-
ment, and, SuppOsing that some one was
buZZing him for vote for the Office of
dOorkeeper Of the house of representa-
tives. he sprang to his feet. and, look
ing directly at the preacher, said in
distinctly audible voice: THAT was all
settled in caucus last night. HURT got
the nomination. You had better look
out for another job"
~
Whether the story is true or not, there
is enough in it to suggest that the lower
branch of congress ought to adopt some
other system of appointing its subor-
dinate officers. The diSgraceful scene
in the caucus, where two congressman
had fiSticuff encounter over the claims
of their fayorite candidates for the
paltry Office of dOorkeeper. was ma
tional scandal. All the minor officers of
congress should be appointed by the pre-
siding officer in the first place, and then
be governed by civil service rules. 1t IS
time that the nation was being spared
the disgraceful wrangles over the ap-
pOintment of the administrative staff of
congress which are repeated at the
opening of every session.

SYRIA'S BEAUTIFUL SLAVES.
The ArduOus and Barbaric Duties
of the Wives of the Bible Lands.

The ArduOus and Barbaric Duties
of the Wives of the Bible Lands.
The Swiss Cross.
There are grand women in Arabia;
women of ability. keen in insight and
wonderful capabilities. The duties of
the wife of Syrian to-day are as fol-
lows:
She brings all the water for family
use from distant well. This is ac-
complished by filling immense jars and
bringing them upon her head. She
rises early and goes to the handmill of
the village, carrying corn, enough of
which for the days bread she grindS by
a slow, laborious process. This she car
ries home and cooks in an oven, which
is made in the earth. 1t is a round hole,
lined with oval and fiat stones and
heated by a fire built III it. When the
bread is mixed with water and little
salt, she removes the ashes and plasterS
pats of dough against the hot stones to
cook. Could anything be more crude?
She cares for her children-usually
large family-and does all the rough
work at intervals, while the husband
calmly smokes his ''argeIie" or sits
crOSS-legged upon his diyan or house
top in converse with some equally hard
working member of Syrian society.
The houses are made of coarse stone
roughly hewn. The house tops are of
clay covered with some coarse gravel.
In hot weather the sun bakeS this mud
formed roof and large cracks appear.
The rain comes, and, as natural con-
sequence, the roof leaks. This is some
thing of which the faStidious inhabitaut
OF the Bible land does not approve. 1t
does not add to his bodily comfort.
He remedies the dificulty-shall tell
you how? Not by any effort of his own;
far from it; his wife comes, ascends to
the housetop, and in the drenching rain
propelS roller of solid stone, backward
and forward, much as we Use lawn
mower. This rolls the sun-dried cracks
together and prevents the entrance of
water.
These are only few of the Syrian
housewives duties. Her reward is not
in this world, surely. She cannot speak
to her husband in public: she can re-
ceive no caresS before his friends. She
goes yelled and scantly clad. She has no
time to make her own habilimentS, for
her hands must weave and spin and emf
brOider artistically and abundantly for
the husband and male children. In win
ter her feet are protected only by open
wooden sandals, and drops of blood
mark the way to the Syrian well. OF
course this is among the lower and mid
die classes of society in Syria. but those
who belong to higher class are very
few
